WAS AT SAMS CLUB TODAY AND ... THERE IS A SHORTAGE

A shortage of what?

Kong sized tampons?

Most on here just dont understand how stores mask empty shelves. The sheep are so naive. People actually look behind the front of the shelves. Some store chains do only a one row facing they are cheap but more professional chains do a 2 row facing which makes it harder to spot holes. They also spread out on products they do have so when you see a 5 ft section of shit canned goods that is a dead give away there is shortages. Here in N GA all the stores are doing the face up on shelves these days. Yes there is shortages of a lot of different things. Most of which just doesnt make sense.

I bet most on here dont even know pharmacies only keep a 2 to 3 day supply of over the counter products. Look at those shelves sometime. They have false backers etc...

Don't we have domestic suppliers or manufacturers that can cover the shortage items? Opportunity awaits.

Right! Thank you. I should have realized that.

I've been saying this all along, but it never gets any traction ...

I work for a company that manufactures "snack food" ... with most of our sales being event and institutional sales, not retail. The initial shock in March screwed up the retail/non-retail balance and we have been "pivoting" ever since at work.

People panic bought in the beginning at the same time supply chains had to pivot in order for manufacturers to keep selling.

NOW

The "level of lockdown/open" map probably looks like boiling water.

In my opinion, what we see in stores on top of the supply chain blip ...

is businesses raiding supermarkets for supplies as they re-open because their regular supply chains are broken.

As soon as restaurants opened for outdoor dining here, various random items were cleaned off the shelves (mayonnaise, napkins, hand soap) ... same with salons, doctor's offices, etc. They have to stock their cabinets from walmart while the hours/days/weeks of operation are swinging so wildly.

The same with construction supplies ... "essential" vs. "non essential" construction opening and closing.

Also, I'm seeing lots of new brands and brands from different regions on shelves as manufacturers and distributors "pivot".

I'm sure a good portion of the shortage is from idiots convinced this is the apocalypse and have been hoarding all the essential stuff like greedy, scared little pigs.

Keep your chin up, the sky ant falling, chicken little.

Stop with the fear mongering posts guised as trying to help out other people. That's not what you are doing.
All you scared idiots just want to be right so bad.

I don't know, this seems way to rational and makes to much sense to be true. You must be a shill or something.

All I know is sportsman warehouse has fishing weights again.

You are full of shit.

Good, i hope the supply chain dies. I wanna watch the fat piggies sqeal

Make America Gloomy Again

I found lots of Lysol Neutra Air at Dollar General store where I live in Missouri. This was about a week ago. I bought 3. There was around 10 on the shelf.

This was the Lysol spray.


.

People bought up all of the lead sinkers in walmart to cast into bullets.


Go look and see, if you got sinkers they were steel or some other metal.

Make America Dead



TRUMP

Because Obama exec order regulations outforced most aerosol manufacturing out of America, ‘cause Carbon Dioxide!

Even those using only pressurized air found costs skyrocketed due the environazi’s.

If your insurance company allows You to use Express Scripts, you can get a 90 day supply from them

The same is true with recreational equipment like kayaks and bicycles.

Around here (Southern NJ), there are lots of places to kayak and bike. Every middle class family who would have gone somewhere else this summer and rented equipment ... is not only fixing up their back yard, they are riding bikes and kayaking.

Dick's, Bass Pro Shops, REI ... I even went to Ron Jon Surf Shop and random places that wouild stock some kind of kayak somewhere ... they were all out of kayaks by June, in stores and online.

I don't think that the kayak and bicycle supply chains are broken or it's due to a raw material shortage or anything like that. Retailers probably never sold so many kayaks and bikes in a month as they did in NJ in May. They normally wouldn't restock. They normally wouldn't sell out or anything close.

And guess what? I was desperate to find a kayak, too. And a bigger bike for my kid. I have NEVER seen so many kayaks on trucks and trailers in this area in my life! Bikes, too.

It's all down to the staycation around here.

(The other day I finally scored an old, beat up bare bones kayak on facebook for $150 which was great - I had been carrying around hundreds in cash in case I found one - and I got it by leaving immediately toward the location and being the quickest sale.)

(For the bike, we're going to take an old one to a bike shop and have it fixed up.)

(I think a lot of families need "one more" boke or kayak/tube/boat to cobble together an excursion, like we did.)

Can someone explain what this means? Are you saying they're filling the shelves with several aisles of the the same product(s) to hide the scarcity of other products?

Exactly correct!!

There are plenty of those at the Goodwill store.

My Sam's and Costco are pretty much 100% stocked besides disinfectant wipes and lysol. Maybe a few odd things out in the rest of the store.

Ground chuck is $2.18 a pound at Sam's.

Couldn't find dish washing tablets at lidl.

Never had a shortage prior to Corona.

Look up ammonia for oven cleaning. Believe you put some in a glass bowl and let it sit in the oven. It’s supposed to dissolve the grease.

My kids love them!



LOL, sorry.



OMG, now I have to worry that's why my teenager has so many Doritos and Dr. Peppers.



Hahahaha, such eloquence.

Wow...lidl was out of their brand wet cat food.

Noticed this when this a started. A lot of where the meats were supposed to be were replaced by hotdogs etc. Which usually were in a different spot. deff appeared they were making an illusion of looking full. And the most was cut up/arranged in such a way with about half full to make it look full.
